The 19x12 +45 has the same poke as a 19x10.5 +27 doesn't it?? A lot of guys run way more aggressive set ups, the only thing I would've been worried about was the fattiness of the tires and whether or not the rims would clear the car on the inner portion.

Youre math is close (+26), and thats why this 12" wheel is unnecessary unless it was free or he has another car option to throw it on. I dont know how much clearance there is on the inside, most of us are always worried about clearing the other side.

I am running 10.5+ 24, OP should be fine, and remember he got a great deal for them so I am sure that was a big factor in purchasing these.

Sorry, work is k!ll!ng me right now. My car is filthy and I havent taken any pics.

The rearend view looks sick!
I'm happy with the result but now I'm questioning the bronze on white...not really my favorite. Anyway, the 19x12 is pretty flush with the fender...inside wheel well they fit with a few mm of clearence. Any wider tire and you would probably scrub on hard stops.

Thanks to those that provided insight; the x10.5 poke is just about right on!
Any one bad mouthing the 19x12 choice, who cares..I said I got a good deal and the wheels still only weights 21lbs. Its not like their Rotas! I'm more function over form then x% of this section with your rollin on dubs and vip accessories. I pack 2 Recaro car seats and an icy lower grill !!!!! haha
